A DAY IN THE LIFE. BOOTLEG BEATLES. FESTIVAL No6 2017 GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2017-09-22 | A spine tingling performance of the classic finale to the Beatles' Sergeant Pepper album. The Liverpool Philharmonic were superb and the Bootlegs were almost faultless even allowing for Ringo's rather unconvincing prosthetic hooter.
A GONKY ASCENDING. Taking Jean Earl back to Freshwater East GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2024-10-10 | A short video about a few days spent in Cilrhiw Country House, near Narberth, Pembrokeshire, and taking Gonky back to Freshwater East, which she loved.
THE EARLS DO WALES, JULY 2024. CILRHIW COUNTRY HOUSE. GONKY IS COMING HOME. GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2024-08-20 | A lovely weekend we spent in Pembrokeshire and scattered my mother's ashes at Freshwater West. We had a lot of fun, drank some drinks and played and sang some music (very badly). But I think Gonky would have approved.
SOME MEMORIES OF OXFORD JULY 2024 GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2024-07-29 | Just a short film of our annual visit to my home town of Oxford. Staying in the old prison, watching Twelfth Night in Oxford Castle and taking a trip on the river where my dad Jack and uncle Tony rowed for Neptune Rowing Club many years ago. Their ashes were scattered in the river at Iffley Lock. I don't own the copyright of the music used but it fits and hope it's allowed.
HOTHOUSE FLOWERS. WESTONBIRT ARBORETUM. 7th JULY 2024 GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2024-07-13 | Just a couple of clips from the Hothouse Flowers set supporting Van Morrison. A lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
VAN MORRISON. MOONDANCE. WESTONBIRT ARBORETUM. 7th July 2024 GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2024-07-09 | Van The Man still doing it at coming up to 79. An excellent gig on a lovely evening in idyllic surroundings.
COMFORTABLY NUMB. ALL FLOYD at MELKSHAM ASSEMBLY HALL 31.5.2024 GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2024-06-01 | There are many Pink Floyd tribute bands around and I've seen quite a few. For pure musicianship, sound and light effects, these take a lot of beating. Very impressed!
WOLVES BLOGGERS BALLBASH 2024 GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2024-05-25 | Due to copyright problems with pre-match music (thang you veruh much Elvis!), here's an amended version of my original video. It features a delightful new version of 'The wonder of you' which is almost certain to be the next Christmas number 1. Hope to see more of you at the next gathering. The blog may be dead, but the Ballbash goes on!
WOLVES v LUTON 27.4.2024 WOLVES SECOND GOAL GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2024-04-27 | Three very welcome points against a brave Luton side. We should have been three or four up before they scored a late goal. Typical Wolves, squeaky bums for the last few minutes.
WOLVES V WEST HAM 6th APRIL 2024. SARABIA SCORES WOLVES PENALTY GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2024-04-06 | A brilliant first half performance followed by the 'bad' Wolves. Panicky, giving the ball away and generally very poor. But we were possibly on the end of another dodgy VAR decision. How can we be so good in the first half and so bad in the second? Ait-Nouri going off injured is the last thing we want.
WOLVES 2-1 FULHAM. 9.3.2024. CELEBRATION AFTER THE FINAL WHISTLE GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2024-03-09 | Superb second half performance. Super Mario ran his heart out and the whole team put in a gigantic shift.
WOLVES v VILLA October 8th 2023. McGinn being a complete oaf. GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-10-09 | What do you have to do to get a booking? Masher McGinn did his best to find out, attempting several times to bring Craig Dawson down at a Wolves corner. The referee seemed to think it was Dawson's fault for getting in his way.
I GET AROUND. BRIAN WILSON. GLASTONBURY EXTRAVAGANZA 2017 GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-09-18 | A lovely evening with loads of classic Beach Boys numbers in the sun. Brian was struggling a bit here... but he made it!
DAVID BOWIE. ALL THE YOUNG DUDES GLASTONBURY 2000 GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-09-18 | Rubbish camera, even rubbisher (is that a word?) camera operator, we'd all had too much to smoke and drink... But who cares? I was there!!!
I NEED YOUR LOVE SO BAD. BRILLIANT! WHO ARE THOSE GUYS? GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-09-15 | This was the first gig I attended while recovering from the treatment for throat cancer around eight years ago. It was at the Cheese and Grain in Frome. We went to see The Manfreds, who were great. They were supported by this band who I believe might have been local and performed a superb blues set. I wonder who they are?
ROBERT PLANT & THE SENSATIONAL SPACE SHIFTERS .WESTONBIRT ARBORETUM JULY 2015. WHOLE LOTTA LOVE. GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-09-13 | What better way to end the set? Whole Lotta Love (with a little bit of Mona thrown in for good measure).
ROBERT PLANT & SENSATIONAL SPACESHIFTERS. Westonbirt Arboretum July 2015. THE WANTON SONG GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-09-12 | Bringing back the memories and music of Led Zep. And Planty's voice sounding great.
ROBERT PLANT & SENSATIONAL SPACESHIFTERS. Westonbirt Arboretum July 2015. TRAMPLED UNDERFOOT. GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-09-12 | I'd forgotten just how good this gig was. Made me smile around 1 minute 55 secs in when he clocked The Wolves flag we were waving. What memories!
ROBERT PLANT & THE SENSATIONAL SPACE SHIFTERS. WESTONBIRT ARBORETUM JULY 2015. NO PLACE TO GO GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-09-11 | Trolling through some old footage of bygone gigs, I found this I filmed back in 2015. A truly sensational rendering of Howling Wolf's 'No place to go', with a little piece of 'Dazed and confused' thrown in for good measure. What a band!
THE WHO. ANYWAY ANYHOW ANYWHERE. INCORA COUNTY GROUND 14th JULY 2023 GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-08-03 | ...
THE WHO. SEE ME, FEEL ME. INCORA COUNTY GROUND 14th JULY 2023 GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-08-03 | Another classic from the 'orrible who.
THE WHO. PINBALL WIZARD. INCORA COUNTY GROUND 14th JULY 2023 GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-08-01 | They still 'Sure play a mean Pinball Wizard'.
THE WHO. WONT GET FOOLED AGAIN. INCORA COUNTY GROUND. 14th JULY 2023 GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-07-26 | Not bad for 157 years between them!
THE WHO. OVERTURE FROM TOMMY. INCORA COUNTY GROUND 14th JULY 2023. GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-07-21 | I first saw them in 1966 at the old Midnight City, underneath The Moat House, in Digbeth, Birmingham. They're still rocking 57 years later (and so am I).
WOLVES BLOGGERS BALLBASH 2023. GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-06-05 | A coming together of a few like minded individuals for an end of season chat, some nosh and a few drinks. Apologies for the slightly dodgy quality of some of the filming. The cameraman and sound director have been sacked. I think they, rather like our team after we avoided relegation, were 'On the beach'. Let's hope for better next season.
PRETENDERS. KID. CHEESE & GRAIN, FROME. MAY 16th 2023 GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-05-18 | Shame on you Chrissie! Forgetting the chords after all these years. Never mind, we forgive you.
PRETENDERS. BACK ON THE CHAIN GANG. CHEESE & GRAIN, FROME. MAY 16th 2023. GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-05-17 | A real coup for The Cheese & Grain. Chrissie Hynde on top form. The years don't seem to touch her. A great gig at one of my favourite venues.
WOLVES v VILLA 6th MAY 2023. MOLINEUX ROCKS! GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-05-06 | Well, it's worth celebrating. A win against "Veela". Surely sealed our Premier League status. Ruben Neves, Captain Fantastic.
WOLVES v VILLA 6th MAY 2023. TOTI GOAL GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-05-06 | Oh Yes! Toti scores a towering header to beat Villa. In spite of some rather dodgy attempts at defending by the defenders.
WOLVES BEAT PALACE AT MOLINEUX, APRIL 24th 2023. Including Neves penalty. GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-04-26 | Is there a better place to be on a Spring evening than Molineux, as Wolves get the three points that we need to almost certainly keep us in the Premier League? Not in my book!
POLICE DOG HOGAN, OLD TIME. KOMEDIA BATH, MARCH 30th 2023 GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2023-04-21 | Foot stomping fun with Police Dog Hogan doing what they do so well. Video sound quality a bit iffy but who cares? We all had a great night.
R.I.P. CLIVE HILL. A BLOGGING LEGEND! AND TRUE FRIEND. GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2022-09-05 | Taken from existing videos of previous Wolves Bloggers' Ballbashes, I've cobbled together a short tribute to one of the nicest chaps you could ever wish to meet. A legend among Wolves Bloggers and a true friend. Rest in peace mate!
BEGIN THE BEGUINE - A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF JEAN EARL. Known to all as GONKY. GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2022-06-03 | I hope this doesn't fall foul of any copyright issues. My mother died recently and I made this short film to show at the celebration of her life, held on May 27th at West Wilts Crematorium. It is made up of pictures of her life, all 97 years of it, shown to her favourite piece of music, 'Begin the Beguine' played by Artie Shaw. I have posted it so the people who could not make it on the day can enjoy some happy memories.

MOLINEUX LIGHT SHOW. WOLVES V EVERTON. NOVEMBER 1st 2021 GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2021-11-02 | Always good to see a night match at Molineux. Particularly with a light show. And even better when we beat Everton!
STEVIE VAN ZANDT. Musician, actor, activist. TALKING ABOUT HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY. BATH 9.10.2021 GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2021-10-19 | Part of a book signing tour. He talked about Springsteen, The E Street band, Sopranos and his fight against Apartheid in S Africa. This is just a snippet from his talk. It was in Christ Church, Bath and the acoustics are not good, but it's worth a listen.
ONE OF THESE DAYS. FLOYD IN THE FLESH. MELKSHAM ASSEMBLY HALL. SEPTEMBER 2021 GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2021-09-09 | A cracking set from FITF. The first live music I've seen in 18 months. More please!!!

We went along because we are live music fans, Floyd fans, and to support Melksham Assembly Hall which is threatened with possible closure. We just HAVE TO support our local music venues.

WOLVES BLOGGERS BALL 2019. SOME SOUND CENSORED.. GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2020-07-13 | I tried to upload this last year but because I had added some music to the background, YouTube banned it. I thought it was worth showing even in it's censored state. Here it is with sound edited. Enjoy!A fun filled weekend during which we watched Wolves beat Fulham, Nuno become a Doctor and saw most of the present squad at very close quarters. All topped off with a dinner and Q&A session featuring Wolves legends Steve Daley and Big Phil Parkes. Thanks to Dougie Singh for organising the whole Shebang!!
WAVING THE WOLVES FLAG AT THE ALBERT HALL! GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2020-04-22 | Went to the Last Night of the Proms last year and took a Wolves flag with us. A great night, not quite as much noise as at Molineux, but close. And slightly more musical.
THE 8 OCLOCK CLAP FOR THE NHS. KENILWORTH GARDENS GIVING IT LOUD! GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2020-03-26 | ...

CLOUDBUSTING performing LILY at Komedia Bath 13th Feb 2020 GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2020-02-19 | Another belter rom the Kate Bush back catalogue.
CLOUDBUSTING performing BIG SKY at Komedia Bath. 13th Feb 2020. GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2020-02-19 | A great gig by a great band. Keeping the music of Kate Bush alive.
CLOUDBUSTING (KATE BUSH TRIBUTE BAND) AT KOMEDIA BATH 13th FEB 2020 GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2020-02-19 | Top Kate Bush tribute act 'Cloudbusting' performed a superb gig at Komedia Bath on the eve of St Valentine's Day. I never saw Kate Bush live and will probably never get the chance to now. These are as close as it gets. A hugely enjoyable evening.
WOLVES v LEICESTER FEB 14th 2020. HIGHLIGHTS AND WILLY BOLYS GOAL GETAUSERNAMEGETALIFE 2020-02-15 | VAR is ruining football! Whatever team you follow, you can bet your life that you feel cheated by some faceless git at Stockley Park. Wolves and Sheffield Utd have suffered more than most, and we suffered again tonight. Whether you feel that it's a conspiracy against promoted clubs muscling in on the so called top six, or just a pain in the neck, surely something has to change. If it takes over 2 minutes to come to a decision, is it 'clear and obvious'? Having said that, we had chances to win and didn't take them. A VERY frustrating evening.
